About this Gig
Secure your companys future with an ironclad Employee Stock Option Grant Agreement. As a licensed US attorney, I specialize in drafting Incentive Stock Options (ISO) and Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSO) that comply with federal and state regulations.
Stock options are the lifeblood of startup retention, but a poorly drafted agreement can lead to massive tax liabilities and legal disputes. I provide legally binding documents that clearly define exercise prices, vesting schedules, and termination clauses.
What you get:
- Custom-drafted ISO or NSO Grant Agreements.
- IRS-compliant terms to protect tax status.
- Precise vesting schedules (Cliff, Monthly, or Milestone).
- Provisions for "Good Leaver/Bad Leaver" scenarios.
I ensure your equity incentives are professional, enforceable, and aligned with Silicon Valley standards. Protect your cap table today with expert legal drafting.
Requirements: 1. Company name and state of incorporation. 2. Type of options (ISO or NSO). 3. Vesting schedule details. 4. Existing Option Plan (if any).
